as root I did:
mount /mt/hda1
vi /mnt/hda1/boot/lilo.conf
ln -sf /mnt/hda1/boot/lilo.conf
lilo -C /mnt/hda1/boot/lilo.conf
and I get
Fatal: Trying to map files from unnamed device 0x0007 (NFS ?)
I was just adding noeject as cheatcode, but even after removing it (so I assume being back at the original state) I get the same Fatal...
I am working with ext2 partitions.

just from a quick look it seems "ln -sf /mnt/hda1/boot/lilo.conf" would be an invalid line.

Open up frugal_install.sh and scroll down to see how the install scripts do their lilo installation.

ln -sf /mnt/hda1/boot /

Thank you very much! I missed the blank before the / on one of your previous post where you had already given the answer.
So it works now!
